[SOLVED] Asking for connectivity savers for Terminals

hd_scania · 05-28-2017, 08:40 PM

Here, my Chromium browser is moderately accelerated under the few ad-blockers, cache and history blockers, the data saver by Google itself etc ... however where are the ‘‘connectivity savers’’ (like ones for Chromium) optimized for Terminals? I have researched PLENTY related (REGARDLESS slightly or tightly) keywords but been given ALMOST NOTHING.

I'd say for one (carefully and after data backups of course) have a look at

Code:

cat /etc/sysctl.conf

if we knew what operating system( ie distro

)...

assuming you mean net connectivity in a terminal, otherwise they have tweaks of their own?

Have fun!

Yes network connectivity done under a terminal session, and the distro are F26 and LMDE thanks? Here, how to start tweaking thanks?

Code:

[hdscania@dnf ~]$ sudo cat /etc/sysctl.conf
# sysctl settings are defined through files in
# /usr/lib/sysctl.d/, /run/sysctl.d/, and /etc/sysctl.d/.
#
# Vendors settings live in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/.
# To override a whole file, create a new file with the same in
# /etc/sysctl.d/ and put new settings there. To override
# only specific settings, add a file with a lexically later
# name in /etc/sysctl.d/ and put new settings there.
#
# For more information, see sysctl.conf(5) and sysctl.d(5).

Here, I must NOT be a

, and I have confirmed which Chromium has been ‘‘biting’’ my data too much, so I have now tried few lightweight browsers,

Code:

# dnf install -y tor midori qupzilla --nogpgcheck

But under Tor I have been experiencing a froze,

Code:

bash-4.4$ sudo dnf reinstall -y --nogpgcheck tor && tor

Finally, I have been researching for few Google related extensions for Midori and Qupzilla.

jamison20000e · 06-01-2017, 02:11 AM

Tor will slow things down due to encryption. Do you need a GUI? Links2 is cool or other CLI ones...

hd_scania · 06-01-2017, 02:49 AM

It seems ... NO extensions could be plugged in under ‘‘Links’’, and I have a concern if there are extensions of the Google and Firefox services and the mail clients available for Midori and Qupzilla, or any similar LIGHTWEIGHT browsers.

However, why a high-degree encryption of web browsers is slowing your connectivity down?

jamison20000e · 06-01-2017, 08:05 AM

Tor Browser is slower for me and 8Gb Ram on an i5, even with Debian\Sid... it wraps data in math (kinda

) adding more steps tho some newer cryptography methods are faster than old ones like PCs.

Here's a "lightweight" list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compar...t_web_browsers

hd_scania · 06-05-2017, 02:40 AM

My hardware system is worse than you by i3-2367 of x64 processor and 3.72GiB RAMs, but is Tor (if just working) to be much more slowing down than your hardware system?

jamison20000e · 06-05-2017, 05:24 AM

I don't use it much and it's not too bad just slower than my other browsers.

I like ad and script blocking, that may speed things up.

Edit\add tho I use blocking more for security.

hd_scania · 06-24-2017, 04:44 AM

Finally I have found Eiphany (GNOME) which is best to and for me, hence as my CURRENT DEFAULT browser and thanks guys.
